My name is Beth. I am a 34 year old mother of 3, Olivia (16), Jack (9), and Charlee (2), and am currently engaged to the most supportive man on the planet, Matt. We live in Cambridge, after moving from Oakville the spring after Charlee was born. Moving got us closer to our friend group and we were incredibly grateful for that decision (and support network) once I was diagnosed. ⁠

Thrilled to have joined Ben O'Hara-Byrne on A Little More Conversation through Global News Corus Entertainment radio stations to tell my story and highlight our Not Too Young Photo Essay Campaign for Dense Breasts Canada

Beth Marchant, a mother of three living in Cambridge, Ont., learned of her breast cancer diagnosis at age 32 through an emailed alert about her ultrasound results. Cases like hers are raising questions about whether it's appropriate for a patient to be given a serious diagnosis through a digital message, before speaking to a doctor. (Turgut Yeter/CBC)

To mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, Dense Breasts Canada is presenting NOT TOO YOUNG, a photo essay by award-winning photographer Hilary Gauld which portrays the stories of 10 young women told they were too young for breast cancer.

Reconstruction comes with its own risks and rewards, and everyone needs to make their own choice on what's worth the cost.

Boobie Free since '23! It's officially been 1 year since my Double Mastectomy and 1 year with #NoEvidenceofDisease 🥳

One year later and this boob is still trying to kill me! It’s been almost exactly a year since I was diagnosed. I’ve been cancer free since my scans in February. It’s amazing to me how I can go from celebrating beating this, to being reminded so harshly that it’s not quite over.

In this episode, we delve into the inspiring story of Bethan Marchant, a graphic designer and mom of three who went from having breast implants to beating stage 3 breast cancer. In a society that often equates physical appearance with self-worth, Beth's decision to undergo breast augmentation seemed like a natural choice. However, her life took an unexpected turn when she received the diagnosis that rocked her world. Throughout this episode, Beth opens up about the emotional and physical struggles she faced during her battle with breast cancer. Beth's story is not only about overcoming a life-threatening illness; it's about redefining beauty, self-acceptance, and the power of self-love.

You may remember that late last year I put out a call to this community for someone willing to take over Small Business Ontario. It's taken a little while but - I've found the next leaders for this community.

Got a case of mom guilt? You’re not alone.

Alongside this great panel at the Bump, Baby, & Toddler Show, we discuss Mom Guilt and how society needs to change in order to better support mothers, and how to start changing the expectations and mental load we carry on the daily.

This past year, we tested ALL of my parenting skills as I was diagnosed with Stage 3 metaplastic breast cancer at 32 years old.

Join me on May 28th as I join a panel at the Bump Baby & Toddler Expo to discuss Mom Guilt, and how I work at shrugging off the societal expectations that cause it!

I’ve now completed 15/28 radiation treatments. I spend every afternoon topless on a table while they microwave my tits, but the people are lovely, the hospital is super understanding and I am genuinely grateful that I can reduce my chances of dealing with this shit again by a whopping 30%.

When people comment on how well I’m handling this, and why it seems easy, the answer is really simple.

This life I live now, with my partner, and my children, EVEN WITH CANCER, is still infinitely better than my life ever was before.

Finally! There is NO EVIDENCE OF DISEASE! Man, that was freaking exciting!

3 weeks into recovery and we are getting stronger each day!
